Commission readies Ohio Historical Marker application for Avon Center Cemetery
Summary
Commissioners updated the timeline and content for an Ohio Historical Marker application for Avon Center Cemetery; the Mayor will provide authorization letters and has agreed to cover marker maintenance costs, with submission expected in roughly 2–3 weeks.
Commissioner Theresa Szippl told the Avon Landmarks Preservation Commission on March 11, 2026, that the Ohio Historical Marker application for Avon Center Cemetery has been refreshed and will be submitted in approximately two to three weeks.
Chair Cynthia Murnyack-Czarnecki said the Mayor supports the submission, will provide the necessary letters affirming the Commission’s authority to apply (on the basis that the City owns Avon Center Cemetery), and "has committed to covering the maintenance costs associated with having an Ohio Historical Marker," according to the meeting record. The Commission and staff are completing a final review of the statement of significance before submission.
The application update signals ongoing work to secure state recognition and to ensure long-term upkeep of the marker in partnership with City leadership.
